Packers Pass Rush Needs More

The Green Bay Packers defense has been getting pressure on opposing passers at a good rate this season. They rank tied for 12th in the league with 18 sacks.

Twice, however, the Packers finished a game with zero sacks. One was the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and the other was this past weekend's win over the Oakland Raiders.

Free agent additions Za'Darius Smith and Preston Smith have been a boon for this defense, amassing 13 of those 18 sacks. They've elevated the Green Bay defense to one of the better units in the league.

But when the opponent has a solid game plan for the Smith's, who steps up?
